Not Just Pretty Face

Matapos malaman ni Mallory Natividad na ang kapatid at boyfriend niya ay may relasyon at suportado pa ito ng mga magulang niya ay naisipan niyang pumunta sa isang bar sa pag-asang makakalimutan niya ang nakita at ilabas lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman niya. Pero nagkakamali siya dahil kahit ilang baso na ang nainom niya ay hindi pa rin siya nakakalimot. Naglasing siya nang naglasing hanggang sa may lumapit sa kaniya na lalaki. Sa sobrang kalasingan niya ay hindi na siya umangal nang inaya siya nito papunta sa kung saan. May ideya na siya sa kung anong mangyayari sa kanilang dalawa pero sa halip na matakot siya ay para bang gusto niya rin ito. Ang gabi nila ay parehong nagtapos sa isang mainit at masarap nang magkasama sa iisang kama. Kinabukasan, nang makita niya ang lalaking nakasiping niya ay hindi siya makapaniwala nang nakilala niya ito. Ito ay si Cargorios Mertimor, kilala bilang isa sa pinakabata at pinakamayaman sa buong mundo— at higit sa lahat ay kilala bilang isang womanizer. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang gagawin niya kaya dali-dali na lang siyang umalis nang hindi nagigising ang lalaki. Ilang linggo lang ang nakalipas ay hindi niya inaasahan na magbubunga pala ang nangyari sa kanila at mas lalong hindi niya aakalain na magtatapong muli ang landas nila. Inaakala niyang magiging maayos lang ang lahat nang sumama siya kay Cargorios, pero hindi niya aakalain na ito na pala ang simula ng pagkagulo ng buhay niya. Hindi niya inaasahan ang natuklasan niyang plano ni Cargorios na nagpawasak sa kaniyang puso. Dahil doon ay kailangan niyang mamili. Pipiliin niya ba ang sarili niyang kasiyahan, o ang kapakanan ng kaniyang anak na nasa kaniyang sinapupunan?

My cousin, Sonia Sanders, only trusts OmniGo Maps, or OmniGo, for everything. While waiting for the bus during a trip, the bus that we are supposed to get on pulls into the station. However, Sonia grabs my arm and says, "Amanda, OmniGo says that our bus is only arriving in another ten minutes. This is not our bus!" I watch helplessly as the bus pulls out of the station, ultimately making me miss my flight and forcing me to pay double the price for another ticket back home. Once, after work, Sonia sees the green arrow on OmniGo and floors the gas pedal at a road intersection. She says confidently, "OmniGo says it's supposed to be a green light! That means this traffic light is wrong!" I look at the red light in horror. Before I can stop her, a vehicle driving ordinarily past the intersection crashes right into our car. In the end, my legs have to be amputated, and I become wheelchair-bound, while Sonia only suffers a mild concussion and a fracture. One rainy day, Sonia calls me an Uber to go to my follow-up at the hospital, but she sets the pickup point at a location that is flooded a third of a mile away. I try to change the pickup point to my home, but she snatches my phone away and says, "OmniGo says that this pickup point is highly recommended for disabled people to board. You can't just change the pickup point as you like!" As a result, I fall into a puddle, wheelchair and all. Sonia doesn't even turn back to look at me and leaves me behind. Because of the rain and the prolonged soaking of my wounds in the dirty puddle, I develop a severe infection, which then leads to multiple organ failure. Despite being rushed to the emergency unit afterward, I ultimately die from the infection. When I open my eyes again, I realize that I'm standing at the bus station again. Sonia taps on her phone and leans closer to me, showing me the details on her phone. "Look, Amanda, OmniGo says that our bus isn't arriving for another ten more minutes."

Everyone in the pack knew I was in love with the Alpha, Luther Pauley. I had done whatever it took to win him over, even sneaking into his bed more than once. When I turned 18, the pack's seer predicted that Luther was my destined mate. But I refused the marking ceremony and chose to leave the pack instead. Luther looked stunned as he blocked my way out. "If you walk away now, don't ever come back." No one in the pack believed I would really go. They were even making bets about how soon I'd crawl back. "I'm calling three days!" "You're giving her too much credit. I'll wager a bottle of healing tonic that she'll be running back here in three minutes!" I ignored them and went straight to Sawyer Dunn, the Alpha of Graymoon Pack. This time, I swore I would never look back again.

After years of living abroad without children, I decided to return home to handle my inheritance matters. However, before I could step into my house, I was stopped by a group of people at the entrance. The woman leading the group pointed at me and started screaming. "I can't believe someone as young as you is seducing a man old enough to be your father! How disgusting can you be?" I watched her, noticing how much she resembled my older brother, and I was shaking with rage. They pulled out my fingernails, broke my ribs, and slashed my face, dragging me around the neighborhood as I begged for mercy. Yet, they remained indifferent to my pleas. Just as I was on the verge of losing hope, my brother, Edward Grange rushed over.  Through a mouthful of blood, I managed to choke out, "Ed, I’d rather die than let her inherit my inheritance…”

I almost called the cops—until I found out Tony Jarrett, my own husband, had blown seven years of my hard-earned cash on a shiny new motorcycle. For Pauline Schmidt. His ex. I asked why. He just shrugged. "She's a single mom. Life's tough. This way, she won't have to walk so much." I wanted to scream, but I swallowed it down. Made him at least get an IOU from her. While I was busy sourcing stuff for the factory, a flood warning hit our town. And Tony? Out buying toy cars with Pauline and her kid. Our son was home alone, trying to stay above water. I was back. Like life hit rewind and dropped me into that exact day. The day he gave her the motorcycle. I saw them—laughing, tight, like their own little picture-perfect family. But I didn't cry this time. Didn't beg. Just turned and walked off.
